"She's gone." Kenshin, who got up early in the morning for morning exercises, didn't see Qishi, he originally thought that his senior sister got up earlier, but when he saw the neatly folded quilt, as well as the duffel bag and stationery placed next to the pillow, he already had a premonition.

Sister Asakura left.

Her arrival was very sudden, and her departure also didn't give Kenshin a chance to react, she had just comprehended the incredible sword skills, and she was still thinking about being able to continue to consolidate her kung fu today, but Qishi had already left.

picked up the letter, the content of the letter was very simple, the general meaning was to let Kenshin protect himself and his family, and at the same time left some money and medicine, suggesting that he become a doctor in the township in the future to make a living.

"It's rare to be idle, just learn how to save people, after all, it's a respected craft, and it's better to live with some money, you can't rely on others all the time, not to mention that you have a wife, take charge of the house, I'll definitely keep it a secret from the Shinsengumi." ’

Very practical advice, as for Ba's true identity and what other seven realities were not revealed to Kenshin in the letter, it seems that she finally accepted Ba's identity.

"Sister Asakura, she has been like this since she was a child." Hearing the sound of getting up, tidying up clothes, and hearing Suosuo, Kenshin said this for no reason.

“？”

"Maybe she didn't realize it herself, for the people important to her, she always desperately wanted to protect, and she seemed a little stingy, but I feel that Sister Asakura's character is not narrow-minded and ignorant" Kenshin shook his head.

"Ba, even if she didn't say anything explicitly, but Asakura seems to know what the world should be like quite thoroughly, when she was a child, she never showed surprise when she heard the news of any changes in the current situation, and in the face of other people's evil deeds, although she would stop it, she rarely felt emotionally in words......"

It's subtle, how to put it.

Kenshin slowly folded the letter and put it into Nanami's luggage.

"It's like we're looking at the future, but she's looking at the past."

It's hard to be enthusiastic about the past

Wearing a hat, covered with black cloth yarn, Asakura Qishi pinned a knife, completely dressed as a ronin, there are many ronins with swords on their bodies in this era, most of them are regarded by ordinary people as vicious gangsters who eat people and do not spit out bones, and everything they see is to take a detour, Qishi is dressed like this, although she has no courage because she is too small, but she has a knife, this alone is enough to scare away many people and save her some trouble.

It took two days to leave Kenshin's residence, and in these two days, Qishi was looking for a reliable place to stay, and she couldn't be too close to the village where Kenshin lived, but she couldn't be too far away, and she was also ready to spend money to hire some down-and-out outlaws to investigate the movement near Kenshin's house for her, and if she found someone like Dark Naiwu, she would take action.

Don't look at Qishi's young age, but he is also a civil servant, and he is a civil servant in Kyoto, and he has collected a lot of money during this time, and she has no place to spend, so can't she follow the big men in the team to visit Hualiu Street? So in terms of money, Qishi still has a surplus, and I don't know where it is higher than Kenshin.

"It's so windy."

This season, the wind near here is very strong, blowing so that the trees have become arrows pointing in one direction, it feels like it will break at any time, Qishi wants to cross the river by water, but she has been sitting on the rocks by the river for almost half a day, no boatman is willing to carry her, the wind is really strong, everyone dares to go home, do not want to do business, Qishi beckoned, the boat is like invisible, "whoosh" has to ride the wind in front of her.

So there were fewer and fewer people waiting for the boat, and when it was past noon, the sun was shining, and there were only seven days left to bask in the sun.

"Otherwise, let's get out of the way."

Find a place to sleep for a day and come back tomorrow, the wind is really weird.

As soon as the thought came to mind, on the river in the distance, a small boat rowed leisurely, slowly, steadily, obviously with the wind, but not pushed away by the wind, it can be seen that the rower has kung fu.

Nanami felt that this man should be able to carry herself, and she left the stone, walked onto the small wooden ferry, and waved her right hand to the left and right of the boat.

However, as the boat approached, Nanami's waving movement slowed down, and she used her free left hand to lift the black veil and wipe her eyes, and then looked at the person who was holding the boat, still feeling hallucinated in front of her.

Okay, okay.

The man who was holding the boat was a man with a straight back like a tree trunk, he was very tall, taller than most Japanese of his age, and he was sturdy in his skeletal frame, but he wore the coarse cloth clothes of the common people.

In this life, she has only met one man like this among the people Qishi has ever seen.

That day, he also stood up and walked slowly from the end of the path, step by step, and the young Qishi just watched blankly.

'You and your father the truth. ’

The man said this while bringing bad luck, because her arrival Asakura Nanami's father, Asakura Hayabusa, would die, even if Nanami later understood that it might not have been his intention, but he also had a mustard in his heart.

Nanami Akashi, a man with gray hair and a grown up Qishi "chance encounter", both say that the female college has changed eighteen, and now Qishi has her mother's seventy percent appearance, Nanami Akashi can't recognize her, but Qishi recognizes him.

Nanami, Qishi, the pronunciation of the two names is similar, and his father doesn't need to say anything about it.

Silently put down the black curtain on the hat, she didn't wave her hand again, she didn't want to sit on the ship of the seven seas, if this was a chance encounter then let it pass, the fate that had been cut off was not necessary to be reconnected.

However, the premise is that it is a "chance encounter".

Plunging the penny into the water, Nanami Akashi's boat stopped in front of Nanami Akashi, his eyes did not have the vigor of his youth, as a middle-aged man, Nanami Akashi seemed to be a lot more stable, he looked at the short little ronin in front of him, the other party did not react, and even wanted to turn away, and when he was about to turn around, Nanami Akashi saw the straight knife pinned to the other party's waist.

Indeed, he may no longer know Qishi, but "Chao Che" has not changed his "appearance" for more than 100 years, and even if he is blind, it is impossible for him not to recognize the heirlooms of his Zeng family, even if that family, the "Chaocang" family no longer exists.

"Stop." His voice was heavy and hoarse, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to.

Qishi ignored it and was about to leave.

"I said stop."

Akashi directly picked up the penny and stabbed her in the back of the head, Nanami reacted quickly, but although he dodged the stab, the hat was still knocked up and fell into the river, and the splashing water also wet the corners of Nanami's clothes.

“……”

For no reason, a burst of anger surged into my heart.

Qishi pressed her right hand, and she turned around slowly with a frown, staring straight at this guy who didn't know what to do.

And Nanami Akashi was also so surprised that his mouth grew when he saw the true face of this little ronin.

"Butterfly ...... No, Seven Realities? ”

Ah, it looks like he should have recognized.

"Long time no see, Uncle Nanami."

Long time no see.

The fuse of everything.

At the same time, in Nagasaki, Takanomiya's beloved and short-haired Takanomiya Kyiichi boarded a ship to go overseas, and she had prepared everything she had prepared, and then she was ready to watch things develop leisurely.

"Novels are very interesting, and I like to read the stories told in novels."

Before boarding the ship, she looked at the port of Japan and said something inexplicable.

"But reality is even more incredible than fiction."

There are so many wonderful encounters in reality.
